OZ Lifting Products, LLC today announced that it has donated $500 to Hope Harbor, a local nonprofit organization that provides hope and healing to build strong families in the Winona community. This sponsorship was made at the annual Celebration of Hope event.

“OZ Lifting Products is committed to supporting the local community, and we are proud to partner with Hope Harbor to make a difference in the lives of those in need,” said Steve Napieralski, president of OZ Lifting Products. “Hope Harbor is doing important work to support at-risk teen girls, and we are honored to support their efforts.”

Last year, Hope Harbor used the funds raised to serve 30 teens and 56 parents, averaging 25 placement calls each month. 

“Not only did [OZ’s] partnership help us to reach our fundraising goal of $40,000, but surpass it, making this year’s event our most successful yet,” said Lael Lemire, Hope Harbor’s Winona site director. “We are looking forward to another year of serving teens and families.”
